Leadership is not easily defined because it is rooted in human qualities and characteristics. Education is a people-driven profession, yet there is a beauty of balancing technical leadership with adaptive leadership, which is no easy task. There is no "rule book" to leadership; however, this book is to learn about being "unsupervised" and how new age leadership can create stability and enhance professionalism throughout an ever changing educational environment. Unsupervised Leadership is a practical, tangible, entertaining and REAL way of assessing yourself as a leader, while building your confidence, facing your fears, and elevating others around you.
